Your safety is important to us! Here are our COVID specific protocols:
Our maximum occupancy has been reduced and we are monitoring check-in and check-out times to enable accurate contact tracing
Our facility is cleaned frequently with additional disinfecting of high touchpoint areas throughout each day
Masks are required at all times for anyone in the building
Social distancing is in effect whilst climbing. Climbers are required to keep 1 empty rope station between them and other parties and only 1 person is allowed to climb in each bouldering section. Climbers who are not from the same household are asked to maintain 6 feet of distance from other climbers.
Hand sanitizers are placed throughout the gym. You must wash or sanitize your hands before and after climbing and we encourage frequent use whilst climbing.
Liquid chalk is currently allowed and is highly encouraged
